Devcon Has Losing Quarter

Devcon International Corp. of Deerfield Beach late Monday reported a net loss of $1.8 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, a reversal of a $3.6 million profit for the year-ago period.

The losses came despite a 28 percent rise in revenue on continuing operations, mainly in construction-related business in the Caribbean, and its expansion into the electronic security services in the United States, the company said.
